Melodrama Physical Theatre Workshop

It's a dark and stormy night... and you're in it. And may die... Melodrama joins music and drama using spectacle, gesture, pantomime, bold characters and physicality, heros and villains, the struggle of good and evil. The most expressive of the dramatic forms, we play with high stakes and emotions expressing fully in the body. Unlike method based psychological acting, Melodrama is akin to Artaud's "athlete of the emotions." The exercises are physical but non-speaking. We believe in a welcoming and inclusive environment for all levels.

Workshop taught by Debbie McMahon, Artistic Director of the Grand Gugnolers. Ms. McMahon studied at Dell'Arte School of Physical Theatre, taught at USC and has clowned with Cirque du Soleil.
